I had a new gas boiler fitted by James Rae and the professionalism, and workmanship was excellent. Nothing was a bother and he kept me informed of everything associated with the job. Both James and Henry were superb installers, cleaning up as they went along, and extremely tidy with the installation. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others as they are simply the best.

James installed a new gas boiler for me and I could not fault his work in any way. He also does yearly checks on the boiler and my gas fire. He is totally professional, meticulous in his work and an extremely nice and reliable tradesman. I would not use anyone else. You will not find a better tradesman. Highly recommended.

This was the first time I had used James Rae Plumbing. They carried out a boiler service at my daughter's house. They turned up at the agreed time (even texted to let me know they were on their way), carried out the service with no fuss or mess and the invoice was exactly what they had quoted. Although this was not a major job I was impressed with the efficient and polite service and will certainly be using them again.

James has been doing the annual gas checks on my house for several years, and also regular boiler repairs. The old boiler finally gave up last week though, but James was able to respond quickly both to the initial call out and then with quoting for and installing a new boiler. I highly recommend James and trust him to provide a high-quality friendly service at a great price. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!

I contacted James to service my boiler as he had good reviews here and he arranged to come a couple of days later, at a time that was convenient for me. He was really friendly and efficient, I was very impressed that he even had a step stool with him- no need for me to get my stepladder out! I was really pleased, and will definitely get him to service the boiler next year.

James fitted us a new boiler and tank system in 2020. He did an excellent job. Reliable, friendly, on time. We've had a couple of issues with the system since which James has come round next day to comprehensively check and address. Really great service.

Had an old back boiler replaced with a new combi boiler including replacement radiators. Excellent job from the prompt provision of a competitive quote to the completion of work with minimal disruption. James proved to be one of the most reliable, efficient, hard-working and friendly tradesmen I have come across.

James was recommended by my neighbour that has used him for years. I asked James if he would change all our radiators and heating control system (Hive). He also serviced our boiler at the same time. The work James did was outstanding and unlike other tradesman I have used he ploughed on through the day just taking a short break so he could complete the job. I cannot recommend James enough, I intend to have James service our boiler from now on. Five stars.

James installed replacement radiators throughout the house, having previously installed a replacement boiler. He is an excellent tradesman, very reasonable prices, cleans up all mess created during the job and is very careful to minimise this. Work also completed to a very high standard, would highly recommend.

James Rae Heating Ltd installed our new Worcester Bosch boiler one year ago and we were most delighted with the work which was carried out in a highly professional manner from start to finish. We agreed to an annual service package and this was subsequently carried out yesterday to the normal high standard at the agreed price and to our total satisfaction.

James responded immediately to my request (via the Worcester-Bosch website) to fit a new boiler and visited soon after to quote for the work. He understood what I was looking for and provided the best value quote. The installation was carried out on the scheduled date without any issues. James was very helpful in using some of the previously installed and concealed wiring to mount the new boiler controller - providing a clean and professional finish. James was professional, helpful and cheerful - and I would have no hesitation in going back to him for any heating work in the future.

I contacted James Rae after a couple of other contractors did not respond to my enquiries. James completed a service on our Worcester Bosch boiler, checked our radiators and gave us advice about how to make our heating system work better for us. A thorough and professional job. I have no hesitation in recommending James. We will be getting him back for our annual boiler checks.

James Rae has supplied and fitted two new boilers for me in different properties over the past couple years and I am extremely happy with the quality of the work undertaken and the overall professionalism. Initial quotes were provided in a timely fashion after discussing the best available options and the work commenced soon after agreement. James is reliable and accommodating when carrying out the work with good communication and a drive to make sure the customer is satisfied before the work is considered complete. Pricing is very fair considering quality of the products and service and I would not hesitate in recommending James or using his services again.
